    It must be. Everything goes through the same stages it seems. There must be like a tree map of how life works. I first heard of rap in middle school. Then as my siblings when through middle school that's when they hear rap as well. Then the interested in sports phase. Then people start branching depending on their view on schooling and either go the don't care I'm going punk route, or I'm doing the best I can and be successful route and then thats a whole new tree map.

    I didn't read the whole this g just slimmed the first post so if I missed something I'm sorry. Maybe they aren't picking favorites and celebrating for themselves that all the lids are grown up and they ate free lol.

    It's a Gallardo in an orange color. Sports cars like these need to have the bright colors. It is what makes them stand out. lol

    Why not wait for the Aventador? I'm a big fan of Koennigsegg and Maserati myself.

    my granmother from my dad's side had 17 children. None of which went to college, highschool, or finished elementary school for that mtter. they started working at 5 years old in the field like a grown person or doing work around the house.

    Now a days people say their parents are unfair for not getting a car or something they want but dont need. My dad says that back then, either you worked as soon as you could or you didnt eat. They make me get my own stuff by working not because they dont love me but because they want me to know the value of money and how hard it is to get it. I actually started "working" around 6-7 with my dad when we lived back in mexico by fumigating the fields so the crops wouldnt get weeds and what not. Then i started working with him too at his restaurant. Everything I own is mine and only mine. heck, even i even bought my own underware! LOL

    dont get me wrong, my parents help me economically more than i actually want them to. i hate the idea of them paying for the stuff they do because they can use it for something THEY want. I feel bad taking money from them as i have two hands and two feet and if i want it, i can work for it.

    Same here. If I wanted something, I pretty much had to buy it. I started working at my moms store when I was 6... got a job on a commercial fishing boat at 11... paper route at 12 (ran 3 routes)... amusement park job from 13 - 16... construction from 16 - 18... Dive shop 17 - 18. Personally I think having kids learn the worth of money at such a young age is a good thing. I've always known the value of hard work and a dollar :D

    I love my parents, yes I have a sister, yes they favor her, she went to private school never had to work they bought her a car they do anything she wants, however I cant hate them for that. Ive been working saving money, mowed lawns as a kid worked at target when I was old enough now have a way better job, and everything I have I bought and that's a good feeling, life is unfair and that's just the way it is :p trust me when I say I understand having a sister that gets whatever she wants is annoying but just do you bro then when you look back one day you'll realized that because you had to work for all your stuff you actually appreciate it, I was just able to buy myself a nice acura tsx while my sister just wrecked the car that was givin to her, so just take it all in stride bro

    There are a lot of people out there who have no one. Dad was a drunk and mom divorce him and married someone who didn't want someone elses kids. My real dad met someone else and they had my 9 half brothers and sisters.

    My step dad was very aggressive and would beat us, kept us in the basement which was cold and damp, and would put waterbugs and pepper in our food. I was little and would cry but he would still make us eat it.
    Grandma and Grandpa figured out we were being abused because a normal 4 year old didn't have nightmares every night or crawl under the porch or into the closet to hide and scream because she didn't want to come out.

    We had new bruises everytime we visited. Grandpa was a state cop and had ties with the mob at that time and they stormed the house and told my step dad if he said anything, he would be killed. So my brother and I went to live with them where we were able to live a normal life.

    My half brothers and sister didn't have it that good. Lifie with my real dad and their mom was terrible, they were beat daily and sexually abused. They were eventually taken away and some ended up in orphanages, 3 were taken off to another country, and 2 were old enough they couldn't go to a home so they lived on the streets and and got addicted to drugs.

    There was another child they claimed ran away very young somewhere around 4 or 5. Some of the kids remember him, some don't, and I figure they were either too young at the time or hadn't been born yet. I'm sorry, but kids don't leave and never come back at that age and I have a feeling that he got beat too severely and they got rid of the body. I say this because my brother (less than a year old) was beated so bad Mom thought he would kill him and mom got beat trying to stop it. That was the reason my mom divorced him. My half brother was thrown down the stairs, bassenett and all as an infant. One thing is certain, all 10 of us hate our father and that will never change. My half brothers and sisters also hate their mother. We have a reason for the hate we feel.

    This summer I was able to located some of my siblings and although I don't really know any of them, they are family and I love talking to them on Facebook and some call me weekly. Really sad, at 50 years old, we've missed so many birthdays, Christmas, weddings, babies being born..Ect.

    Just remember there is a lot of hardship in the world. Some have it bad and some have it much worse. You grew up with a family and I didn't hear you say you were molested, beaten, or had to eat bugs so they apparently were raising you to the best of their ability.

    Although they don't always show it, I'm sure they love you. .

    Of course I didn't feel that way when I was having to work all weekend while my friends played and got what ever they wanted :lol:

    Heck starting at 5 my parents assigned daily chores and every Saturday morning we'd have to spend it doing chores.

    But damn can I clean a house, mow a lawn, do dishes, paint, etc etc. Life skills :D Just don't make me write thank you cards for Christmas presents... according to my family I suck at that :p
